Garden retaining walls: a clear landscape installation brief
A garden wall should be described by its purpose as well as its appearance. Explain the ground being retained and the planting, seating or pathways intended around it. A decorative garden edge is not automatically the same scope as a retaining structure. Show the installer the full setting and ask for the proposed system, preparation and drainage to be assessed. Keep planting and other landscape finishes visible as separate parts of the package.

Retained area
Show the level difference and intended wall route. Include nearby structures, tree locations and available landscape plans.
Outdoor use
Describe how the upper and lower spaces will be used. Identify paths, seating and planting rather than leaving their interfaces implicit.
Finish boundaries
Ask what is included in caps, ends, soil reinstatement and surrounding surfaces. List optional landscaping separately.
